Please be aware of a hidden
Please be aware of a hidden problem that appears to be connected with the 2010 Prius, that if I'd have known about it, I'd have purchased a later years Toyota Prius(2011-2012)... I began noticing occasional rough Engine starting every 100-200 starts, for the past year or so, but as time moved forward, so did the rough starts while driving...this had nothing to do with the 1st morning starts...this happened while driving... And has progressively gotten worse, even though the Prius drives like New, other than the occasional rough starting...
After 2-Separate intensive Check-ups, at the dealer and a Prius Specialists, the prognosis was: my 150,000mi Prius, has a Blown Head Gasket, or Cracked Head/Block...thus requiring a complete "Head Job" or New Head, or the cheaper fix is a used "Engine Replacement"...!!!
Then after researching the possibilities of adding, over the counter: Head Gasket Sealer? And found there are lots of Unfortunate Prius Owners with the exact same Gasket issues???
Are there any recourses that anyone knows of?
Thanks for any feedback...!!!
We're both retired living on State Disability in San Diego Ca. Which is a very difficult life!
Blessings to all~***
